Simply, and with great humanity, The Eradication of Smallpox tells the story of smallpox - it's origins, the horror of the
disease, and the millions of people killed or disfigured by it. During the 18th and 19th centuries, it is estimated that one
out of every ten people died from the disease; some say one out of every seven. Smallpox attacked very young children in particular.
The story progresses with the practice of variolation, the life of Edward Jenner who first proposed 'vaccination' with cow
pox vaccine (little James Phipps was the first person ever vaccinated in this way), the years of debate about the efficacy
of this novel method, and the later worldwide initiatives to rid the planet of this horrific disease. In 1979, the story culminates
in the only total eradication of an infectious disease that mankind has ever accomplished. This year celebrates the 20th anniversary
of this momentous achievement. In the intervening years, debate has raged about what we should do with the remaining smallpox
viral stocks. Do we destroy them, so they can't fall into the hands of bioterrorists, or do we maintain them, in case they
may be of use in some unexpected way, for therapeutic purposes? These questions are thoroughly discussed in the book. Key
